He didn't say "You will drop the case." He HOPES for a good outcome for his friend. No jury would convict on that one statement. What Trump hopes for is in no way an order.

This is a poor analogy and betrays the author's intentionally deceitful ways.

A better analogy would be having the Chief of police telling one of the department heads in a private meeting that he hoped for the investigation of his secretary to be dropped.

This is an obvious attempt at obstruction of justice and ought to result in the Chief of police being stood down and perhaps charged of criminal intent.

I'd make a joke about McCain finding this morning to be "disturbing", but right now I'm seriously worried for him and his health. He seemed to ramble, be unable to speak in full sentences at points, and confused Comey and Trump with things like "President Comey". McCain is an intelligent man, he's well spoken, and despite how one views his politics, he's always impeccably prepared.

The rest of the statement reads:

"What I was trying to get at was whether Mr. Comey believes that any of his interactions with the President rise to the level of obstruction of justice. In the case of Secretary Clinton’s emails, Mr. Comey was willing to step beyond his role as an investigator and state his belief about what ‘no reasonable prosecutor’ would conclude about the evidence. I wanted Mr. Comey to apply the same approach to the key question surrounding his interactions with President Trump — whether or not the President’s conduct constitutes obstruction of justice. While I missed an opportunity in today’s hearing, I still believe this question is important, and I intend to submit it in writing to Mr. Comey for the record."

There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide. -Camus

Ah yes, looks who's back, and here you are, still defending that lying sack of shit, and his totally corrupt and incompetent administration.

Taken TOGETHER with everything else, it could be obstruction. Trump is the PRESIDENT, not (just) a friend. There is a HUGE difference there. He FIRED Comey. You ignore what is inconvenient.
I certainly hope you have no power or judgement over actual human beings, as you are seriously delusional and fail to see what you chose to ignore.

He is without a doubt, THE worst excuse for a president in US history.
Still think the Repubicunts are in for a (however long you said) run here ? They can't even pass the repeal of the ACA. Wasn't it due on "day 1" ?
LMAO.

Insufferable know-it-all. God has a plan for us. Please stop screwing it up with your prayers.
